About Us
#WePowerment
We Empower Leaders and Organizations for the Future
Kienbaum was founded in 1945 in Germany when Gerhard Kienbaum laid the foundation for what is now a leading international consulting firm. As the first German consultancy and the only one of European origin focusing on both HR and management consulting, we have since helped countless organizations develop Agile Leadership and Future-Ready strategies.
With our rich history as a third-generation family business, we have brought that same spirit of innovation to the Netherlands for over 20 years. Kienbaum Netherlands combines the proven German approach with local expertise, extensive experience, and the latest technologies to help organizations strengthen their leadership and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.
#WePowerment is at the core of everything we do. This approach empowers individuals within organizations, encourages personal accountability, and promotes lifelong learning. As a result, we not only enhance individual capabilities but also optimize collective potential, leading to flexible, responsive organizations that can adapt to a dynamic market.
Worldwide Excellence
For over five decades Kienbaum has been operating internationally. With 30+ offices in 20+ countries, Kienbaum can offer you valuable insights into local markets across the globe. Our experienced international consultants across the Americas, Europe, and Asia have a proven track record in both local and international assignments.
Kienbaum Netherlands has now grown into a leading player in consulting, and while our focus still remains on Executive Search, we have expanded our services in recent years. Our offerings now include Board Services, Assessment Services, Leadership Development, and Executive Interim Placements.
Our Team
Our international, multidisciplinary team is focused on delivering outstanding results for both clients and candidates. We understand that finding the right match is crucial to your success. Therefore, we work closely with you, leveraging our in-depth knowledge and experience to provide strategic solutions that support your business objectives.
We believe that continuous development and collaboration, under the motto #WePowerment, are essential for achieving sustainable results. By continually enhancing our expertise, we not only strengthen our team but also empower the organizations and leaders we support, enabling them to excel.
Empowering
DEI Leadership
Diverse, equitable and inclusive (DEI) teams are key to driving innovation, improving decision-making, and achieving balanced governance. By prioritizing DEI in both candidate selection and within our own organization, we help you build resilient, future-ready leadership teams that deliver sustainable, impactful business results.
We actively collaborate with
SER Topvrouwen
a network dedicated to accelerating the advancement of top female executives in the Dutch business community. Additionally, our cross-border seminars enable German and Dutch leaders to exchange best practices, fostering international collaboration and progress.
Together for
a Green Future
We enthusiastically support the Black Jaguar Foundation, which is committed to one clear goal: the large-scale planting of indigenous trees to establish the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor. This initiative contributes to a better future for all of us and for future generations on our planet.
We contribute to BJF's innovative and social approach, both financially and by raising awareness within our network. By planting these trees in Brazil, we make an impact together.
